As of now, Etheric Light is the most useless drop in the game. It has no purpose and does nothing for you; you can't even turn it in to the Speaker for Glimmer or Motes. But, what if it had a new purpose? I was thinking a while back about how nice some of the Rare armor sets in the game look, and how much it sucks that I can't wear them without handicapping myself. And then I thought about Etheric Light; purposeless and useless Etheric Light. But then it hit me; what if that oh so useless Material could be used to upgrade a Rare armor piece/weapon into a Legendary weapon? It would give Etheric Light a purpose and double if not triple Armor Customization. And just for balancing reasons, Etheric Light would only change gear from Rare to Legendary; and not affect Dmg/Dfns values. Upon upgrading the gear to Legendary, its Dmg/Dfns value would stay the same: so that 287 Rare helmet stays 287 upon upgrade, but now you can actually Infuse it to a higher value.
Come on, you ALL know you want to wear a Legendary Seraph I armor set.

Hell yeah. I got a titan artifact yesterday. Kabbr's pocket watch. Kabbr's pocket watch. A pocket watch that was Kabbr's. Rare item.

I don't know if I agree with your particular use for it. But Bungie needs to step up and give Etheric Light some purpose. It has zero use currently. That is ridiculous, especially since Variks still gives me at least one every Tuesday....
-
I'm still for the idea that Etheric Light should add +1 Light to any piece of gear. That way it helps people getting screwed with RNG and you could raise your Artifacts over 310.

Edited by Smough: 11/2/2015 9:53:37 AMI got some really nice rare weapons and armor in my vault. [b]PLEASE BUNGIE MAKE THIS HAPPEN[/b] But wait... What about the perks? I mean, legendary gear obviously has more, and better perks than rares. Maybe they could be re-rolled with legendary perks?
-
If they make that... I can see a lot of exploits/glitches coming in the future.
-
Seems like a reasonable solution to me.

Edited by Cubonej: 11/2/2015 8:42:09 PMnot just etheric light but the whole arena is useless at this moment. all drops are year 1 drops and the rewards cant be used. Bungie needs to update VOG,CE and the arena with higher lvl enemies and new items with current light lvl armor/Weapons.
-
This is by far the best use of etheric light yet. I applaud you sir/madam. This needs to be a thing, along with bumping the PoE levels.
-
That is an excellent idea
-
So rare guns have on less perk slot, under your proposed idea if you were to turn a rare weapon into a legendary would it can that missing slot?
-
Definitely
-
Agree. Bump.
-
I'll sign that petition
-
-
Or let us use etheric light to level factions, similarly to how we can use the other in game resources/ materials.
-
That's... That's actually a good idea.
-
I gike dis idea it shuld be weal
-
It should be exchanged like other raid materials. Just do motes and glimmer.
-
Etheric light should give me 50 weapon parts, 30 motes, 50 of each material, and 2500 glimmer.
-
Or upgrade year 1 legendaries to year 2
-
They should exchange etheric light for strange coins
-
Something should be done with POE rewards! They are worthless now. I have been holding on to them in hopes of bungie making some changes.
-
This could work
-
Bump.
